Marketing Plan- Yogreek

Company Purpose: YoGreek yogurt was established to provide a quality family friendly product, while at the same time promoting an active and healthy lifestyle through the use of all natural ingredients. YoGreek yogurt will establish a reputation as an innovative leader in the produce industry.

The Need: In today’s fast moving, yet increasingly health conscious society, the need for a healthy and convenient product without sacrificing taste is becoming greater than ever.

Mission: YoGreek yogurt was developed to satisfy this need in the best possible way. The product targets individuals and families working towards living a healthy lifestyle. This is especially towards mothers and expecting mothers with small children that are constantly on the go in need of a healthy alternative. YoGreek provides its customers with a thick and creamy, nutritious experience without additives. The added crunch compliments the creamy texture of the yogurt and gives it a nearly unlimited combination of flavors by changing either the crunch or the yogurt flavor. It also has twice the amount of protein compared to the leading yogurt.

Market Potential: In the U.S., the greek yogurt market has an estimated $ 30 million annual sales. The annual U.S. yogurt consumption, not the greek yogurt consumption, is 11-1/2 pounds per capita. In ounces it is 176, and the most common yogurt serving is 6 ounces. This shows that the amount purchased per capita annually is 29.33, which shows that the frequency of purchase is one yogurt every 12.14 days. This is relative to the annual sales for the yogurt market, so the amount purchased per capita of greek yogurt is 1,16 ounces annually.

Expected Penetration: YoGreek expects to penetrate the market by taking 0.6% of the market potential in one year. During the second year YoGreek would expand and penetrate %1.2 of the market. YoGreek would then sell approximately 955,000 units the first year and 1,910,000 the second year.

Marketing Strategies: In order to achieve the expected penetration, YoGreek will employ the following strategies:

Corporate Image: Sun Valley Dairy will create and maintain a healthy and innovative corporate image by creating a variety of health conscious products that are unique to the market. They will create a slogan and use it continuously to further this as a corporate identity tool and create a memorable position in the consumers mind. Press releases will be sent to the media when Sun Valley Dairy launches a new product in order to create positive publicity. If rumors or problems were to arise during the introduction and further sale, the rumor and fact procedure will be employed. Whatever negatives that may arise with the company publics; Sun Valley Dairy will take this opportunity and go to lengths to turn these into positives to create a stronger and lasting relationship. Research shows that if this is done, 94% will come back and keep buying according to the Marriott Studies.

Positioning: YoGreek is currently on level one positioning. The corporate image should be separated because it is not well known and as it is now, will most likely help boost sales. This may change over time if work is put into making Sun Valley Dairy a well-known and respectable corporate image, but for now, the separation strategy will be used. Voskos could on the other hand be used, for instance by saying: “From the makers of Voskos” etc. YoGreek will continue with their name, logo and slogan in order to not confuse...

Introduction
Petco is in the process of developing a product that is about to be introduced into the market world for the aid of pet allergies. This product is called Sneeze-Free. Petco’s intention for this product is for the potential to improve the lives of individuals who have allergies to pets. Sneeze-Free can also make it possible for individuals who cannot own or be around pets because of allergies, have more of an opportunity to own one. Even though this product formulation is a first of its kind there are still similar sprays, and allergy products that will compete against Sneeze-Free. With this product already proven to be popular in the testing stages, a strategic marketingplan will be the key to the success of Sneeze-Free.
Sneeze-Free Attributes
As Petco continues the marketingplan for its new product Sneeze-Free, some additional factors need to be considered. Identifying the attributes of the product is very important. The life cycle of a product should be reviewed and understood. Positioning and differentiation strategies should be factored into the marketingplan. Finally, the pricing strategy for Sneeze Free must be determined. The attributes of Petco’s Sneeze-Free will aid in determining the qualities that set the product apart and what should be...

The Roles of a marketing manager
Marketing managers play many roles, and we can describe them with words that begin with the letter D:
Detective
The marketer is charged with understanding markets, and thus must spend considerable time learning about consumers, competitors, customers, and conditions in the markets. This learning takes many forms: formal marketing research studies, analysis of market data, market visits, and discussions with people in the markets. The result of these studies include insights about market conditions, and the identification of problems and opportunities in the various markets.
Designer
Once a problem or opportunity has been identified, the marketer turns her/his attention to designing marketing programs that solve the problems and/or capture the opportunities.
Decision maker
Marketing is a group process that involves many different people, each of whom may be designing marketing programs and events. Thus the marketer must make decisions about which programs to execute.
Decision Influencer
Marketers exist in corporate structures that require higher level executives to approve the marketingplans, programs, and events that come out of the marketing group's work. Thus the marketer must influence the decisions of these senior executives.

...Marketing Mix Paper
The marketing mix is probably the most famous phrase in marketing. According to Wikipedia.com, the marketing mix approach to marketing is a model of crafting and implementing marketing strategies. It stresses the "mixing" or blending of various factors in such a way that both organizational and consumer (target markets) objectives are attained (Wikipedia). "The elements are the marketing 'tactics'. Also known as the 'four Ps', the marketing mix elements are price, place, product, and promotion" (Marketing Teacher). In other words, "Marketing mix is a combination of marketing tools that are used to satisfy customers and company objectives. Consumers often call the marketing mix "the offering." By using variations of these four components a company has the ability to reach multiple consumers within the target market" (Lake, Developing).
The most common variables used in constructing a marketing mix are price, promotion, product and distribution (also called placement or often referred to as the four Ps). This was firs suggested by Jerome McCarthy, and indicated that marketers have essentially these four variables to use when crafting a marketing strategy and writing a marketingplan. In the long term, all four of the mix...

...Marketing MixDetermining the proper marketing tactics for a product or service is a process that requires many steps to accomplish successfully. There must be an appropriate 'mix' of ingredients to meet the objective. The four main elements are product, place, promotion, and price. Different businesses and industries require a different mix, depending on the objective for the company. Each product, item or service needs to have the appropriate mix, or sales and revenues will not equal the desired levels. The other factor is the life cycle of the product. The mix has to change and vary depending on where in the life cycle a product currently resides. "The four Ps represent the sellers' view of the marketing tools available for influencing buyers. From a buyer's point of view, each marketing tool is designed to deliver a customer benefit." (Koffer, Chapter 1). The concept is that for a company to have success with a product, the marketing needs to be strategic in overall outlook, and tactical with each product, depending on where in the life cycle the product is. If the marketing isn't integrated, widely separated activates will not have the desired effect on product sales. The four P's and the life cycle are just one important component to truly integrated marketing management. The mix and life cycle will be examined and real world examples provided.

I. THE MARKETING MIX FROM THE CUSTOMER’S POINT-OF-VIEW: THE ‘4 A’s
ATTRIBUTES
AFFORDABILITY
AWARENESS
AVAILABILITY
In essence, this is what we want the ‘4P’s’ to accomplish. They provide ‘outcomes’ measures. Like the 4 P’s, the 4 A’s will always be a function of the ‘Target Market’.
II. THE ‘4 S’ MODEL OF THE PRODUCT/SERVICE LIFE CYCLE.
STANDARDIZATION
SATURATION
SOPHISTICATION
SLOW DOWN
The product life cycle moves from ‘emergence’ to ‘rapid growth’ to ‘maturity’ in the well known ‘S-shaped Curve’; and over the same time the probability that any customer will buy follows a normal distribution from the ‘early innovators’ to the ‘early majority’ to the ‘late majority’ to the ‘laggards’. The ‘4 S model describes the behaviors that drive the inevitable march to maturity (and cost-of-capital returns in an efficient market) – Products standardize; Market Segments saturate; Customers grow more sophisticated and seller organizations slow down. This means that over time their will be imitators and knock-offs giving the buyer more choice and causing downward pressure on Prices. The market will be buying all that it needs unless the seller stimulates increased purchases with new use development, innovative communications, new channels and perhaps, new target markets – all of which are costly, further squeezing margins and profits. At the same time the potential/repeat customers will become...
